By way of background, Wangaratta Unlimited is the economic development arm of the Rural City of Wangaratta. In November last year it decided to take a proactive response to the global economic downturn and commenced developing a response strategy. This strategy was finalised in February 2009 and submitted to Council for adoption. The strategy is based on the premise that "now is not the time to be timid". It acknowledges that while the Wangaratta regional economy will not be immune from the affects of the economic downturn, there are measures that can be undertaken to buffer these affects and indeed provide offsets to employment and economic activity in other directions. It is nominated four key directions for doing so: • Direct economic stimulation • Innovation and entrepreneurship • Leadership • Business support I look forward to your consideration of the Wangaratta Unlimited Global Economic Downturn Response Strategy and would be prepared to provide further information should you wish in this regard.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • 20 May 2008 Greg Wilson Chair Essential Services Commission
    Our Ref: #2460463,2007/216/1 Your Ref: Greg Wilson 20 May 2008 Chair Essential Services Commission Level 2, 35 Spring Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Dear Greg Rural Water Price Review - Goulburn-Murray Water response to ESC draft decision Goulburn-Murray Water (G-MW) has reviewed the draft decision of the Essential Services Commission (ESC or “the Commission”) in relation to its Water Plan for the period 2008/09 to 2012/13 and is pleased to have the opportunity to respond. We note the proactive response provided by the ESC regarding the difficulty in determining future water prices in an environment undergoing significant capital investment. Importantly this capital investment has a largely unknown effect on how we will deliver our services in an automated environment. Operating efficiency gains need to be offset against the increased cost of maintaining these new structures. G-MW are grateful for the interim review opportunity to re-submit further pricing proposals for key services by October 2008. You will note in our response that G-MW have accommodated as much as practicable the recommended variances to the Water Plan 2008/09 – 2012/13. However there are some essential programs that have targeted water savings and strict timeframe deliverables. These have been clearly highlighted for your final consideration. As they are externally funded the majority of these deliverables will have little or no effect or water pricing. Details have also been provided on appropriate service standards as requested. In addition, G-MW proposes a number of changes to reflect additional obligations, such as the introduction of the Terrorism Act early this year.
